A 13-year-old Hillsboro boy remained in the hospital today after he was hit by a pickup Thursday evening when he dashed into the driver's path.

The boy, identified by police as Edgar Gongora-Gongora, suffered a head injury and was taken by Life Flight to Legacy Emanuel Hospital & Health Center in Portland for emergency surgery, said Lt. Michael Rouches, spokesman for the Hillsboro Police Department. Authorities earlier reported the boy was 16, not 13.

The teen was out of surgery at midnight and was moved to the hospital's intensive care unit, Rouches said. He was listed in critical condition this afternoon.

The boy was not wearing a helmet, Rouches said.

Rouches said the accident happened about 6 p.m. on Northeast Cornell Road at Brookwood Parkway. Witnesses told police the bicyclist darted into the path of a pickup driven by Lorna Jones, 56, of Hillsboro. Jones was unable to stop in time, Rouches said.

The accident was still under investigation, Rouches said. But, at this point, it didn't appear likely that Jones would be cited, he said.
